additional peripheral devices.
To attach the base:
1 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor
facing you.

the monitor, then align the hooks on the bottom of the base with the
corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.

securely in place. The retaining latch clicks into place when the base is
correctly attached.
